corporation ("STC"), and you, Leon Black ("Mr. Black"), regarding the provision by Mr. Epstein and
STC to Mr. Black of certain Proprietary Services (as defined and described therein) (the "May
2013 Agreement"). STC, Mr. Epstein and Mr. Black have agreed that Mr. Black shall pay STC
additional consideration (the "Additional Consideration") in respect of the Proprietary Services in
accordance with the following provisions:
I. DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms used herein but not othenvise defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the May 2013 Agreement.

Black will jointly and in good faith complete a review and evaluation of the Proprietary Services
provided under the May 2013 Agreement to reasonably determine the value of the benefits
conferred upon Mr. Black and his Affiliates as a result of the Proprietary Services (the "Benefits"), and
the amount of any Additional Consideration due and payable by Mr. Black to STC in respect of such
Benefits, calculated as provided in Section 2(b) hereof. By no later than June 15 of each of the next
ten (10) consecutive calendar years thereafter, Mr. Epstein and Mr. Black shall again jointly and in
good faith complete a review and evaluation of the Proprietary Services to reasonably determine the
value of any additional benefits so conferred over and above the Benefits (or over and above any
additional benefits determined to have been conferred in the immediately preceding review and
evaluation) ("Additional Benefits"), and the amount of any Additional Consideration due and payable
by Mr. Black to STC in respect of such Additional Benefits, calculated as provided in Section 2(b)
hereof. The review and evaluation conducted by Mr. Epstein and Mr. Black each year shall be referred
to hereinafter as an "Additional Consideration Review."
(b) Calculation of Additional Consideration. In connection with each
Additional Consideration Review, the Additional Consideration due and payable by Mr. Black to STC
shall be equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Benefits or Additional Benefits, as the case may be,
determined in such Additional Consideration Review to have been conferred upon Mr. Black and his
Affiliates.
